Feel good about yourself, you are still under construction

Whatever we do in our lives, the way we feel about it is the main factor which is going to decide what outcome has that experience going to have on us.
Is it going to be positive or negative outcome ?!
Is it going to be our step up, step down or just another act of killing the time ?!
It is us who decides how much we are going to learn and benefit out of it.
We all have our own story and our own way of living. We are all having our own, individual approach to everything we do.
As a GMMA Academy fighter and martial arts instructor, guy who spends most of his day in the gym. I do look at training as a way of development of my life.
I do look deep inside of my own performance and performance of others. When I look at it I do see much more than just physical abilities.
I see it as a great example of human psychology tool.
Training with and around others everyday gives me great opportunity of meeting countless individuals with so many different approaches and attitudes towards their training and development.
I meet people who are coming to the gym only when they manage to get a bit of time off  from other duties,  once or twice a week. Most of those people  understands that it isn't going to be easy but still decide to do it as they believe in advantages of their training. Even though they are having hard time they are still happy and proud of their achievements.
I also meet people who train regular, at the competing level and they are being quite hard on themselves. When the struggle comes, pain kicks in and body slows down, they become to feel bad about their performance and excitement drops down.
There are people who come to the gym once in a while, with great enthusiasm which fades away as intensity of workout increases.
There are individuals who practise on general bases and understand that when struggle begins is when training really starts.
I have been wearing all of those pairs of shoes. I have trained less and felt positive about my progress, what was giving me that extra boost to train more and harder.
I have been training a lot and very hard then I have reached to a point when not only my body was fatigued but also my brain was telling me that I am useless and I should stick to do my work and train for pleasure only.
I am still learning and developing myself as a fighter/student/Instructor. I do really believe that I have got an amazing opportunity of doing something I always loved to do and improve my private life and my other passions at this same time.
Seeing it this way gives me that push to get out of the bed and hit the road for morning run, even thought I have slept very little and my body still hurts from last night's training.
It has been my own choice and it is the only way forward to achieve my goals.
Seeing it this way gives me a lot of positive energy and power to keep going even when my performance doesn't satisfy my ego.
I give myself credit, understanding that fighting and coaching is something that you never stop to learn. Believing in myself and the fact that I am on the right track.
It makes me feel good about myself.

Busy life vs training

There is so much more I wanna get from my life.
As a fighter, student, instructor.
As well as in my career outside the sports and as a husband, brother, son and simply a men.
I strongly believe that we were born as a community and we should also leave as a community too. I wanna be able to so much more for others.
I know that I am on the right path to achieve all this. I am with right, like minded people.
As most of us this days I can't always do things that I would like to  (even if they are right things to do ). Like my training.
My routine is at least two trainings day, six days a week. When I accomplish this schedule,  I do have a Sunday off with full peace of mind.
If I know that tomorrow I've got to start work earlier I will make sure that I wake up early enough to do my morning session and prepare myself for rest of the day.
My main trainings (Gukwoone, GuruMuayThai etc) are in the afternoon or evening. And they are my priorities.
I will literally do all my best to attend my main sessions.
As much as the morning ones are flexible, I can't change nothing when it comes to the main ones.
So in the busy schedule of my other work related duties. Sometimes it is physically impossible to make it on time.
Sometimes even beeing slightly late is not an option either.
Do I just finish what I've got to do and go home to have a peaceful night?
No way.
That wouldn't be possible.  I wouldn't sleep well at all.
The more I achieve the busier I get and the harder it is to fit in everything I wanna do. But if I can't cope with what is happening now, how will I perform having more responsibilities and more duties (which I am planning to ) on my head.
I am not even parent yet:-) !
So I will always make sure that I have this couple of things with me at all times.
My training kit and membership card to chain of the gyms at different locations around London, where I can do my routine if I miss my planned training.
If I skip it today, tomorrow will something else pop out. Day after day, week after week I will miss more and instead of getting closer I will move away from my goals.
So here we are.
Missed my evening session and just about to start my own training of a run on the treadmill...
Good luck with achieving your goals👍
